| [DAWN] Three children died and at least three others were hospitalised at death's door in Nawabshah allegedly after being administered expired measles vaccines on Saturday, according to hospital officials and family members. Husnain Brohi, 5, Hania Noor, 6, and nine-month-old Qamar Din died at the Paediatrics Unit of Peoples University Medical Hospital (PUMH) while three other children, Zubair, 5, Jannat, 4, and Tania, 3, were said to be at death's door. Junior doctors at PUMH who are treating the patients believe that expired vaccines are the reason behind the deaths, but district health officials have denied that the administered vaccines were expired and have ordered an inquiry into the matter. |
